EMBRACE THE RACE!! YOUR SUPPORT NEEDED!

The event that started it all for international, professional cycling in the U.S. needs your help.  After 24 years as the largest single-day, professional cycling race in North America, the Philadelphia International Championship is in jeopardy.  

The economic challenges experienced in both corporate and civic circles have converged to create a shortfall in the operating budget of the race’s 25th year, and the reality of the situation is that unless a $500,000 gap can be closed in the next several days, the race will be cancelled.  (To read an article on the status of the race in The Philadelphia Inquirer, click here.

While the scenario seems extraordinary, what we know is truly extraordinary is the love of this event among fans, cyclists and sports enthusiasts in Philadelphia, throughout the Delaware Valley and across the country.    This is a decidedly difficult position for any event organizer – and perhaps one that’s become too familiar in recent months.

MINI COOPERS TO SET THE PACE FOR THE RACE, FERRY OFFICIALS AND JOURNALISTS

In a year when most auto sales have shifted into low gear, MINI is moving full speed ahead to introduce its zippy, eco-efficient models to the Philadelphia metropolitan area.  Proving that motoring is fun – even if you don’t have a motor – MINI today announced that it is signing on as the automotive sponsor of the TD Bank Philadelphia International Cycling Championship, Philadelphia’s annual kick-off event to summer that draws some 300,000 fans.  This year’s June 7th event will mark the 25th running of the nation’s top cycling classic, and a special MINI Cooper pace car will lead the pack for both the men’s and women’s international races.

The eight MINI vehicles, to be put into service during the six-hour, 156-mile men’s race and the two-and-a-half hour, 55-mile women’s Liberty Classic, will be provided by two Philadelphia-area dealers – MINI of the Main Line in Bala Cynwyd and Otto’s MINI of West Chester.  MINI will be represented by all model types, including the MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper S, MINI Cooper Clubman, and the all-new MINI Cooper Convertible, along the 14.4-mile race course that stretches from the city’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway to its hillside neighborhood of Manayunk.
